An edge LSR has some interfaces which support unlabelled IP traffic,
and some interfaces which support MPLS. There is no restriction on
the particular link types, encapsulations, etc. for the unlabelled
IP links - they can be (for example) MPOA links. At least one
commercial edge LSR implementation supports packet forwarding between
MPOA and MPLS links.
